The Story Of Little Wing

This is the story of little wing. I have been reading the best creative book by Kelly Rae Roberts called Taking Flight. I had no idea it would be such a helpful book. Sure it has tech stuff but its deeper than that. It encourages yo to take flight give yourself the wings to fly creatively. I love it! Anyway i was on my way home from running errands-Josh just needed, really needed some pears...I was thinking about how we as artists need community and it is true. i am so tired of flying alone. but i realized how in fear i am. i started crying and crying out to God. i told him i really want this and i want to get my work out there God you know i do but I'm scared! I'm scared I'll bomb I'm scared of showing it all alone. i need some arty friends to spend time with. I need wings Lord!

just 2 weeks ago i signed up for a watercolor class that will last all day this coming up Saturday and i am thrilled and scared of that too!! i have never painted in front of any one ever. maybe kids but that doesn't count as much because they think everything i do is great. you draw a bug they marvel-ya know?

I am hoping that this class will help me get out there and make some connections- i can be quite the homebody. it is a step in the right direction.

back to Little wing. i came home wet eyed and as soon as i walked in Rachel noticed immediately that i had been crying. she asked what was wrong and i told her i was tired and just needed a good cry. she hugged me so tight- what a sweetie! i needed to wash my hands and i went to the kitchen sink to do just that. as i was washing up this tiny object came fluttering out of nowhere and landed on my left arm. i looked at it and couldn't tell what it was. i dried my hands and gingerly picked up the little object. it was a tiny little wing!! omg!! i was just crying out about that very thing! God heard he sent a tiny sign to let me know he heard and he is answering and he loves me. i feel he cried along with me.....

Ya know some people may not believe that story some people may think it was a total quinky dink but i don't. i have been wanting this very thing for a very long time and he knows that! he knows each and every one of us very intimately. i know this in so many ways to be true!
